Palace of Liñares

Monument · Lalín, Deza, Pontevedra

Manor house at the place of Liñares, parish of Prado, commissioned in the late 17th century by Álvaro Núñez Taboada, of the Casa de Bendoiro, which enjoyed its greatest splendour in the 19th and 20th centuries. The aviator Joaquín Loriga was born and raised there, godson of the last Taboada to own it, and it was frequented by Emilia Pardo Bazán, a friend of the family, who called the pazo the “Palacio del Recuerdo”. In baroque style with a rectangular ashlar plan, its rear gallery of five semicircular arches stands out, bearing the coats of arms of the Mosquera, Churruchaos, López de Lemos and Taboada families. Acquired by the Lalín town council in 2002 and declared a bien de interés cultural in 2009, it was restored and today houses the toy and puppet museum and a centre for the management of archaeological knowledge.
